The VF8 Challenges EV Trade-Off Presumptions

VinFast VF 8 Driver Side at the Campground

Modern EVs, while great, are often assumed to have more compromises than gas-powered cars. The main assumption is that buying an electric car means giving up things, like charge times versus gas refill times, or overall range. However, the VinFast VF8 continues to prove that “trade-offs” are a thing of the past when it comes to buying a vehicle that’s made for the future but available now.

The Price of the VF8 Warrants a Look

Many new and used car buyers are curious and interested in buying an EV, but many think an electric-powered car is so expensive to buy, own, and operate. Yet, that just isn’t the case. The VinFast VF8 starts from $39,900 and is available in just two trim levels, Eco and Plus. At less than $40,000, this is thousands of dollars less than most of its main rivals. In fact, we have covered many of those cars in our previous VF8 versus articles.

VinFast Takes Standard Equipment Seriously

With such a low base price, you’d expect the VF8 to be devoid of any real luxury or amenities. Instead, VinFast has packed in the features to help buyers understand that you don’t have to overpay for the latest and greatest technology. For instance, very few EVs come with a Head-Up Display (HUD), or, if they do, it is an option added on by upgrading to a costly trim level. The VF8 comes standard with HUD, even on the base Eco model.

What Powers The VF8

Powering the VF8 is an 87.7 kWh battery pack that produces 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque in Eco trim and 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque for the Plus model. VinFast equips all cars with all-wheel drive as standard, something most other EVs can’t say they have until you spend thousands of dollars more on a higher trim level.

Cargo Space

Practicality doesn’t fall by the wayside either, as the VF8 has ample space for five passengers, their luggage, and room left over. Owners will find 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 48.4 cubic feet when folded flat. In the front trunk, or frunk, lies an extra 2.7 cu.ft.

Special Modes

More than anything, though, is the power of the 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment display that shows every relevant bit of information for your car. More so, features like Camp Mode and Pet Mode that let you set a temperature for the interior while you enjoy hanging out.

Sony RIDEVU

Furthermore, with the 15.6-inch infotainment system, the VF8 is able to play 2,000 movies and TV shows on the screen when parked, thanks to Sony Pictures Entertainment and its free Sony RIDEVU service. If the car is in motion, passengers can watch content on devices that are connected to the in-car WiFi hotspot.

VinFast Has a Warranty Like No Other

Unlike any other electric or gas-powered car on the market, every new VinFast has a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. That’s how much VinFast believes in their cars. This means that if you decide to take the company up on one of their incredible lease offerings and then choose to buy the car when the 2-year lease is up, you will still have eight years’ worth of warranty left for the entire car, including the battery system. So, when you’re ready to make one of the best decisions of your life, Ewing VinFast of Plano will take great care of you.

Why You Should Choose Ewing VinFast

At Ewing VinFast of Plano, we have the best prices on dozens of new VinFast EVs and used cars. Our well-educated sales staff and finance department will happily assist you with your EV questions and needs. Our fantastic service department will ensure your vehicle stays in the best condition.

We look forward to serving you.

VF8 vs Mach-E

2025 VinFast VF8 Plus Frunk - Front Trunk

Welcome back to another VinFast versus an EV that tries to offer too many options that end up confusing buyers for no reason. This week, we pit the VF8 against the Ford Mustang Mach-E, a popular electric crossover meant to be a cross between an everyday crossover and a sports car. However, people see the VF8 as a viable luxury option in the EV space because it offers tons of standard equipment for a reasonable price, has the best warranty, and offers excellent leasing options. But which one takes the cake when all is said and done?

Meet The Mach-E

The 2025 Ford Mach-E has a base price of $41,185 and is available in four trim levels, including the Select, Premium, GT, and Rally. The two lowest trims of the Mach-E, the Select and Premium, feature rear-wheel drive as standard with dual-motor eAWD as an option. The GT and Rally only come with AWD. That’s one way automakers try to keep their cars cheaper, by taking away key features and pretending that they’re doing you a favor by offering a basic car at a lower price point. This is something that VinFast does not do with any of its current lineup.

A Confusing Amount of Battery and Range Choices

Ford offers the Mach-E with two batteries, the standard range 72 kWh (SR) and extended range 91 kWh (ER). The SR battery can be paired with either the rear- or electric all-wheel drive cars, and the Premium trim can be equipped with the extended range battery and eAWD, but the GT and Rally cannot. A Mach-E with the SR battery and RWD has an EPA-estimated range of 250 miles that drops to 230 when equipped with eAWD. While all models can be optioned with the extended range battery and eAWD, their range varies. Select and Premium trims will offer 300 miles of range, with the Premium ER RWD having 320 miles on a single charge. The GT and Rally will get 280 and 265 miles, respectively.

So Many Power and Torque Figures

Instead of continuing to confuse you further with all the different horsepower and torque figures, let’s just say that the lowest amount of power and torque the Mach-E can have is 264 horsepower and 387 lb-ft of torque. The highest amount is 480 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque. The Select and Premium trims offer the choice between standard and extended range batteries with rear- or electric all-wheel drive.

What The Mach-E Offers Inside

Inside, the Mach-E has a 15.5-inch infotainment touchscreen that includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a WiFi hotspot. Some trim levels can be optioned with a Bang & Olufsen premium sound system. Behind the rear seats, owners will have 29.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats up and 59.7 when they are folded. The front trunk, or frunk, also has 4.7 cu.ft. of space.

Meet The VF8

The 2025 VinFast VF8 is available to buyers in just two trim levels, the Eco and the Plus. Starting from $39,900, buyers will not have to choose much outside of exterior color as most options are standard features on the Eco, including a Head-Up Display (HUD) and a 15.6-inch touchscreen display that allows you to configure multiple settings, including Pet Mode, Camp Mode, and the like. The VF8 features 16 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the rear seats and 48.4 cu.ft. when they are folded. The frunk features an extra 2.7 cubes.

One Battery Pack, Standard AWD, and Healthy Power and Torque

The Eco and Plus models both have an 87.7 kWh battery pack with dual-motor all-wheel drive. The Eco has 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, and the Plus gets 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. The EPA says the Eco is good for 256 miles on a single charge, while the Plus will travel 235 miles.

Sony RIDEVU Beats All Rivals

Both come standard with a WiFi hotspot and Sony RIDEVU, which allows passengers to watch 2,000 different shows and movies owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment. These are viewable on the infotainment display when the car is parked or on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop when connected to the WiFi.

Towing Comparison

Ford says the Mach-E with the extended-range battery can tow up to 2,200 lbs when properly equipped. VinFast, however, says that all VF8 trims can tow up to 4,000 lbs when properly equipped. So, if you need to tow a small boat, some jet skis, a motorcycle, a small camper, and the like, the VF8 is the clear choice.

Leasing Options

Currently, Ford is offering the base standard range, rear-wheel drive Mach-E Select for $387 per month for 36 months with $387 due at signing. Let’s get this straight: the cheapest and most basic model is still more expensive to lease than the top-of-the-line VF8 Plus model. VinFast offers the VF8 Eco at $0 down for $279 per month for 24 months, while the Plus goes for $329 a month for 24 months with zero down.

VinFast Has a Warranty Like No Other

Another area where the Ford Mach-E absolutely cannot compete is in warranty. The Ford has a 3-year, 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with an 8-year, 100,000-mile battery warranty. The VinFast has a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty.

What Are the Differences Between the VF8 Eco and VF8 Plus?

Many EVs seemingly have so many options and trim levels that it can be a nightmare to decipher the differences. Oftentimes you’re looking at one trim level that is priced too high for you, wishing the trim below had one or two of the options you want. This isn’t the case with the VinFast VF8 as it has two trim levels, Eco and Plus. Both offer similar features with some differences. If you’re trying to decide between the two, let’s break them down.

What Both Trim Levels Have in Common

First, let’s talk about the things that both trims have. The 2025 VinFast VF8 Eco and Plus share the same dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup with an 87.7-kWh battery pack. They both offer 48 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and an extra 2.7 cubic feet in the front trunk (frunk). Both have a standard Head-Up Display (HUD) and can tow up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped. The VF8 can charge from 10%-70% in just 31 minutes on a Level 3 fast charger.

Better Standard Features than any set of EV SUVs Around

Both models feature excellent ways to charge devices, with four total USB-A ports (two front and rear) and a single USB-C port that charges up to 90 watts. They offer a 15.6-inch touchscreen display that handles all of the functions for the car and also displays movies from Sony RIDEVU when parked. With the in-car WiFi hotspot, passengers can use a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to connect to the internet and watch up to 2,000 shows and movies from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

VF8 Eco

The 2025 Eco starts from $39,900 (not including any other fees) and has 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. It has an EPA-estimated range of 256 miles on a single charge and can get from 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds, according to VinFast. Even as a base model, the VF8 Eco has 19-inch wheels, where most EVs that are priced to appease will have 18s.

Eco Interior Features

For under $40 grand you get vegan leather seats with an eight-way power and heated driver seat and a six-way power and heated front passenger seat. The steering wheel is also heated and is four-way manually adjustable. An eight-speaker sound system is also standard for Eco models.

VF8 Plus

The 2025 Plus model is priced from $44,900 (again, not including any fees) and has 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque with an estimated range of 235 miles. VinFast says the Plus model will get to 60 mph in under 5.5 seconds (a bit faster than the more range-conscious Eco). Stepping up to the Plus adds standard 20-inch wheels and a Panoramic sunroof.

Plus Interior Features

While vegan leather is standard in the Eco, the Plus model gets premium vegan leather with a 12-way power, heated, and ventilated driver seat and a 10-way power, heated, and ventilated front passenger seat. The heated steering wheel has four-way power adjustability. The Plus has memory functions for the driver and auto-dimming side mirrors. When you are ready to bump some tunes on your drive or listen to the sweet sounds of a Sony RIDEVU movie or show when parked, the Plus has a 10-speaker premium sound system with an added subwoofer.

No Warranty Like a VinFast Warranty

While you decide on which trim level is best for your budget and needs, there is one thing you will not have to decide on. Each new VinFast comes with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with the added bonus of a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. Talk about peace of mind.

Standard Safety Features

Both models offer excellent safety features that include 11 airbags along with Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Highway Driving Assist, Lane Centering Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Automatic Emergency Braking, Intelligent Speed Recognition, Traffic Sign Recognition, Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Detection, Door Opening Warning, Front Automatic Emergency Braking, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, Front Parking Assist, Rear Parking Assist, backup camera, Automatic High Beam, and a 360-degree Surround View Camera system.

The VinFast VF 8 Eases into Everyday Family Life

EVs can be seen as ideal commuter cars because they can be charged at home, they are exceptionally efficient, and they operate smoothly in stop-and-go traffic. But anecdotes from VinFast owners show how quickly and easily the VF8 has become part of family life. Ewing VinFast shares some of these stories.

Last year (2024), Michael took his family on a round trip from Montreal to Orlando in the family VF8. The journey wasn’t perfect, facing setbacks like broken charging stations, traffic accidents, and detours that increased the expected driving time and distance. Overall, however, Michael was quite pleased with how the VF8 managed everything. The air conditioning worked well in the southern summer heat, and the quiet cabin allowed everyone to talk normally during long stretches on the highway.

“I had no issues at all with the vehicle,” said Michael after the 3,100-mile round trip, which is exactly the kind of journey that reveals what a car is really made of. It shows that EVs are no longer just experimental curiosities that need to be limited to simple commuting or daily driving. Families trust them—even on their longest trips. Their quiet operation and smooth drivetrain are qualities people have long associated with luxury vehicles. Michael remarked, “The VinFast was very comfortable, especially the rear seats.”

While the Orlando round trip wasn’t their first family outing in their VF8, it was the longest so far and made an impression. The dual motors kept confidence high in wet weather. When it turned hot, “The air conditioning and ventilated seats were top-notch,” said Michael.

Jean-Philippe’s Gaspésie’s trip included towing as a factor, he recalled to VinFast about his VF8. Towing can add stress to any trip, but regarding his VF 8, Gaspésie observed, “The car handled really well with the trailer, powerful going uphill and during passing.” He even encountered the stereotypical EV fear of running out of charge, arriving at his final charging stop with just a 1% state of charge, reading less than 2.5 miles remaining. But the VF8 readings indicated it was going to make it; it did, and Gaspésie is happy with his experience.

Ewing VinFast likes to hear this because, as a mid-size crossover, the VF8 was designed for all types of household travel, from the most routine daily drive to cross-country trips, even with a trailer in tow. The VF9, with seating for six or seven, adds another step to this overall do-anything utility. It also shows that with a little planning, like combining charging times with meals, VinFast vehicles can provide green transportation with no sacrifices for the entire family.

Visit Ewing VinFast and explore the five-passenger VF8 and the six- or seven-passenger VF9 with standard dual-motor all-wheel drive. Bring a VinFast EV home and see how quickly it becomes part of your family’s life.

The VinFast VF8 Is a Primetime Player

The VinFast VF8 is shining a light on the EV world. You don’t need to be a long-established automaker to make a great car—you can provide buyers with excellent service just by listening and paying attention to their wants and needs. This is how VinFast has become a respected EV brand so quickly.

A New Review of the VinFast VF8

In a recent test by Driving, the VF8 was lauded as a car that has evolved wonderfully since its first initial media test to current. The reviewer said that VinFast has made “a big improvement” in reference to the brushed aluminum and leather-like interior trim that make the car feel more luxurious and plush, as well as the higher quality door pockets that add extra space.

An Excellent App and Special Modes

When talking about some of the positives that make the VF8 a quality buy for those looking at getting their first-ever EV (or their tenth), the reviewer highlighted the many modes that allow you to have great control of your VinFast and enjoy it in many different scenarios, plus the easy-to-use mobile app, saying, “Another positive is four special modes: Camp, Pet, Valet, and Wash. Camp mode allows you to use the infotainment system, plug into the USB and 12-volt outlets, and maintain a comfortable cabin temperature while sleeping in the vehicle when the car is parked, such as while charging. Pet mode keeps the cabin at a comfortable temperature and displays a message on the screen that your pet is safe. Valet mode restricts functions like climate control and infotainment. And Wash mode prepares the vehicle for going through a car wash. There’s also a good Vinfast app that shows vehicle status, manages charging, and provides updates, appointments, and invitations.”

More Luxury Features than Normal for a “Base” Model

The model tested was the base Eco trim level, which included vegan leather seats, 12-way driver and 10-way passenger adjustable power seats, and a 10-speaker sound system. These are all features normally reserved as options on higher trim levels for most brands. VinFast also gives drivers a standard Head-Up Display, something that (if available on another EV) is usually only on top-of-the-line trims.

An Interior Filled with Brilliant Technology

The interior of the VF8 features a center-mounted 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system that controls everything in the car with ease. And with standard Sony RIDEVU, passengers can enjoy using the standard in-car WiFi to watch 2,000 different movies and TV shows offered by Sony Pictures Entertainment. Any device attached to the WiFi can watch. When the vehicle is in park, the infotainment screen can also be used to watch the same content.

The Best Car Warranty

The key detail that everyone loves the most about VinFast is the 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. No other car company can match the level of warranty that VinFast offers—not even Tesla. This is why you should come down to Ewing VinFast of Plano to check out the VF8 and also the three-row all-electric VF9 that allows a family of six to experience luxury for a reasonable price.
